"Out of the 80 persons whose signa tures I obtained in my work yesterday," said one man who came in to file his first petition at the headquarters, "I met with practically not a single refusal."

Reports coming in by phone indicate that practically .ill of these petitions are already par tially filled, and that several hundred are entirely filled and will be filed at the headquarters for validation early Monday morning.
